None of them have been "Fuck I can't wait for the game"
Even when we scored against CSKA I celebrated like I would a goal against a league one team in the FA cup. I envy those of you that are really into this time around, but for me something just feels different. Whether it's the fact we're playing away from WHL (I massively dislike Wembley as a stadium, btw) or that we've drawn a bunch of shite we should be beating, I don't know.
Roll on the NLD. Now that I'm up for.
Honestly honestly? You do know European nights are part of Tottenham"s DNA. Fuck sake can't believe people on here. Were fucking Tottenham European trailblazers. Get a fucking grip
Believe me I love being in Europe I just don't love the CL
To swear is to do?
At least he's running.
I'm well aware of that. European competition is significantly different now compared to back then though, no?
Well if we get to the final can I have your ticket.
Jesus Christ this is a glory glory night they became a bit rare round here let's treasure this.
No it isn't I remember us having to play drogheda. It's a glory night were at the top table come on you spurs
When it's the cup final it inspires players, as they are appearing at Wembley.
Well, it used to be like that.
I would think that the vast majority of CL players are internationals and maybe already have. Some play at better, or bigger stadiums for their club teams.
You get to Wembley being in a semi final, in the play offs .
So, who hasn't played at fucking Wembley these days.
Anyway, if yo can be inspired by a trip to Wembley in front of 25 -30k of your own fans for a final you can be inspired to play at Wembley, in the biggest club competition, in front of 85k.
When Woolwich were there it had a running track.
It was also because Dien, probably like Levy but we have also a valid excuse, wanted to prove to the bankers/lenders that Woolwich could get crowds of over 60k. They were looking at moving at that time.
You also have to remember that this was their first 2 ventures into the CL. Is that not a valid reason for them not doing well?
Let's make no mistake, they would have gone back too if it wasn't getting demolished.
Group stages are a farce-too many games - interfere with the domestic football.
Totally agree, but wish there was a different format to the European games. Champs only in CL, 3 trophies to play for and back to knock out (H/W) for me.
Thats the problem CL-utter shite really. Europe should be the ultimate games of the season.
ochfacepalm:It's no more a glory night than a league cup quarter final or something, it's a fucking group game, against another team that came third in their league. Top table...sponsored by Gazprom.
anyone else pre drinking around kings cross?
Teams Tottenham beat to win the 1984 Uefa cup
Drogheda
Feyenoord
Bayern Munich
Austria wien
Hadjuk split
Anderlecht
Glory nights one and all hardly any of which ( except Bm) feature regularly in the knock out stages.
Were in Europe we should treasure it.
I was the same. The Champions League always felt like a big event, whoever was playing. Nowadays I couldn't give a shit unless there's a chance Woolwich/Chelsea could get knocked out.
TV ratings have gone down massively for the Champions League over the last 5 years all over Europe though. Somehow it's lost its "magic" (and UEFA are very worried about it)
I've looked forward to certain Europa League fixtures more than this. I'm sure I'd be a little more excited were this a last 16 tie. Forgive me if I'm struggling to get up for a group game away from our traditional home.
Ok, you've made your point. :vertna:
